Has anybody been able to look at the beautiful fall colors and not been able to realize the power of God? This time of year always amazes me. It's definitely in times such as this that I think about what Paul said in Romans chapter one. "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse" (Rom. 1:20).
One of the greatest places to experience this is in the woods during hunting season. Some people can't understand why some of us like to hunt animals. I'm not going to get on my soapbox talking about how that is a responsibility of us as stewards of His creation. I'll save that for another day. Many people don't realize that when we're out in the woods, we are among God's creation to witness His handiwork firsthand. It's very peaceful to sit in a treestand or a ground blind and watch the falling leaves flutter to the ground. We also get to watch a variety of animal life go about their daily activities: squirrels jumping from limb to limb, deer following a trail looking for acorns and hawks scanning a field for a meal.
If you haven't gotten away from the latest hustle and bustle of life, go out in the woods for a little while and get away from it all. I think you'll come away with a renewed sense of God's creative power.
